The dispenser allows people who may struggle with opening manual pillboxes/containers to easily dispense pills. It also allows for easy organization, as the machine dispenses one slot for each push. You can organize your pills in advance into the dispenser and push the button once, no need to read labels or figure out if you have the correct pills.

Each push rotates the internal storage by a certain angle via an internal cam mechanism,* which turns the linear pushing motion into "segmented" angular motion. When the button is pushed down, small extrusions on the button push on an internal wedge, which rotates the pill storage by half a slot. When the button is pushed back up by the spring, the same extrusions push on other internal wedges on the top, rotating the pill storage by another half slot, thus completing the rotation.

This model was entered into PrusaPrinters 3D Contest: Everyday Life Necessities, the same contest that the Mechanical Unit Circle was entered into.
